Mohawks

The boys and I were having a little fun in the bath tub tonight and I am so glad I had my camera to capture their beloved mohawks.  Always a huge hit before its time to wash up!

3,2,1 Blast Off

We discovered a new place to play in Glen Ellyn recently, Village Green Park. Appropriately dubbed "Rocket Ship" Park. The playground houses this huge rocket structure with some of the fastest "tube" slides and plenty of places to climb. There is also a small "splash" park (if you can even call it that)with 3 water features. 

We took the boys to Rocket Ship park one Friday night after a rough week and they had the best time; running around, climbing up the rock walls, speeding down the slides; just being boys. 

Way up high!

Hi up there!

We are thrilled to have discovered this amazing park  and have been back several times since our initial visit.  The boys can't seem to get enough of the rocket ship and the water helps cool everyone down after all the running during these hot summer days.  It is the perfect place to pack a lunch and spend the morning.  

Flying

Flying...that is what our days seem to be doing lately.  I won't say I am sorry for the lack of posts because that would mean I am apologizing for spending time playing ball in the backyard, running around the park, setting up monster truck courses, or putting out pretend fires in the kitchen.  And I can't say I am sorry for any of those things because life is good...most days!  The boys have been keeping us on our toes, day and night, and we are exhausted by the time they go to bed.  Regardless, we have been enjoying the first couple weeks of summer and are looking forward to a very fun, but busy summer. 

I am going to try my hardest to update the blog on a more regular basis, but can't promise anything.  we have lots of fun things planned this summer.  Posts might consist more of pictures than words, but that is what people want anyway, right?  Oh, and I might start including some of my Pinterest and blog finds, just to mix things up a bit.  We have lots of things planned for the summer (parties, marathon training, home improvements, birthdays) so there should be plenty to share!
